Hello again to all of you lovely ladies and handsome gents! On today's post, I pose a question:
What are some game ideas that aren't in development, that haven't been made official by any company, that YOU want to get made? Well, I have plenty. However, there are some that come to mind that I think
"Holy dickshitting analbags, that's the best idea ever!" But at the same time, I think,
"Yeeeeaaaah, that'll never happen."But, I digress! Here are
three of the potential game ideas that I think would be absolutely marvelous.
Super Smash Kart
Any
fan of Nintendo would probably give an insta-yes to this one. Imagine
it, combining the elements of a bunch of different racing games like
Mario Kart,
F-Zero and the
Excite
series, with an amazing cast of characters from Mario to Link to Samus
and more... it could retain the all-terrain mechanics from
Mario Kart 7 and allow you to race in water, on the road and in the air.
There's
also potential for so many other racing options, like bikes and boards
and special racing machinery. Just imagine Kirby, zipping by on his
Warp Star, when suddenly Samus zaps him with her Starship's lasers. And
before you know it, Andy (from
Advance Wars) blasts
Samus from his tank which has been upgraded to travel at high speeds.
It's be crazy fun, way more fun than plain ol' Mario Kart.
Super
Smash Kart could also pave the way for multiple guest characters! I
know of a certain blue hedgehog that'd want in on the action... and he
can leave his car in the garage this time. Seriously. Pac-Man could
guest in this, much like he did in the Mario Kart arcade game. Capcom
could offer the blue bomber, Mega Man, to ride in the Rush Driller or
Beat Plane (if he hasn't died off by then, that is)... and tell me that
Solid Snake racing in his signature cardboard box doesn't look
hilarious in your mind. Go on. Imagine it.
The Heroines
Your
princess is in another castle? Fuck that. Held captive by an evil
wizard? To hell with that! Let the guys handle the heavy lifting? Not a
chance.
YOU get back in the kitchen and make your
OWN damn sandwich, because these girls are fed. Up.
Imagine
an action game starring your favorite video game girls, such as
Princess Peach, Mei Ling and Chun-Li. Faced by a dastardly evil, the
normal heroes of the story have suddenly disappeared, and the girls
have taken it upon themselves to strap up and roll out. Holy hell, I
think this would be amazing. I don't know what genre it'd work best in,
but whenever I envision it, it always ends up looking like a 2D
beat-em-up / sidescroller, or a third-person action game.
The
female characters that everybody knows are often shown up and
overlooked in favor of the mostly-male heroes. Well, I'm a dude, and
even I think we need more kickass heroines (
with a sprinkle of sex appeal. Wink.) A game like this that showcases the power and badassery of the girls that we all know would be an A+ in my book.
Revenge of the Forgotten 90s Mascots
Does anyone remember
Croc?
...
*cricket*
... How about
Bubsy? N... no? Anyone?
Maaan,
there are so many video game characters I remember from the 90s that
barely-- or never-- saw the light of day with the coming of the new
millenium. And if they DID survive, chances are they were butchered
horribly beyond redemption. (
Excluding Sonic. He's not so bad anymore.)
The year is 2013. Don't you ever wonder whatever happened to those guys? I know if I was
Crash Bandicoot,
I'd be pissed as shit right about now. To hell with those game
companies that just up and left us in the trash-- let's start a riot!
I know this game has no chance in hell of being made, but damn, what a thought. All of those obscure characters, like
Gex and
Alex Kidd and
Plok,
all coming back for one last collective jab at the video game industry.
I can imagine plenty of parodies and references lying within the game,
plenty of fuck yous to the more popular franchises (looking at you,
Halo),
as well as plenty of 90s throwbacks. I can imagine Bubsy getting
flustered when he discovers that retailers don't sell PS1s anymore.
And those are three of my crazy video game ideas... what are some of the sequels and original ideas that
YOU want made? Let me know in the comments.
Always your friend,
Zero Man
